The sky drowned in a dark abyss, and the rain fell as if the clouds were weeping for lost souls.
Aiden Gray was running, but he knew there was no escape. The weight of his steps felt like the earth itself was trying to swallow him.
Before his eyes, the scene of betrayal repeated like a broken film reel. Three people—those closest to him—stood before him with cruel smiles.
His friend, the one he trusted more than anyone.
His girlfriend, the one who was his whole world.
His brother, the one who shared his blood.
"I'm sorry, Aiden... but you were a burden to us," said his friend, the mocking tone clear in his voice.
Aiden tried to breathe, but the air felt heavy. The pain coursing through him spread like fire consuming everything in its path.
And suddenly, the knife touched him.
Blood poured onto the ground, as if it was a promise that the end was near.
Aiden slowly closed his eyes, and in that moment, he felt as though he had lost everything.
But...
Gasp.
He suddenly awoke, as if light had returned to his life. He was lying on the floor of his old room, cold sweat covering his body.
He looked around, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Impossible... this place?" he whispered to himself.
He had returned to 2015, before everything had started.
"Did I really come back? Am I really in the past?"
He was in shock, but the cold voice in his head snapped him back to reality.

Hello, Host.
You've returned to fix your destiny.
We have one task: eliminate the traitors, one by one.
Aiden rubbed his eyes, trying to process what was happening. He knew he was no longer just an ordinary man.
The only thing before him now was the chain that had sealed his fate—the chain of blood he would cleanse with his own hands.
A slow smile spread across his face.
"This time... they will pay the price."
